The data show that LDF improved its vote share in more
constituencies (125) than it won (98) in 2006, in comparison to the
Assembly elections in 2001. Wherever the vote share of NDA has come
down either the LDF or UDF has benefited. When the NDA improved its
vote share, UDF was often the biggest loser.

The figures against each constituency show the gain of LDF,
UDF and NDA in percentage points. Negative sign indicates loss of vote
share. The gains and losses would not add up to zero because of the
presence of other candidates. Constituencies like Kazhakoottam and
Idukki show high gains because of presence of strong rebels in 2001.
NDA shows relatively high gains in constituencies where it had no
candidate in 2001 as its votes then is taken as zero. Notable among
these are Thrikkaripur, Peerumedu, Piravam, Kundara, Ambalappuzha and
Palai.
